Hyatt has a separate award chart for the ~100 all-inclusive properties that it acquired with the purchase of Apple Leisure Group in 2022. These properties are located throughout the world have slowly been integrated into the World of Hyatt rewards program.
While there are locations in the Europe, the majority of these properties are located within the Americas and there are now 75 all-inclusive properties that are bookable throughout Mexico and the Caribbean within the World of Hyatt program.
This post has been updated by adding new properties, removing resorts that have left World of Hyatt and incorporating Hyatt’s most recent set of category changes.
World of Hyatt’s All-Inclusive Award Chart
Hyatt has an all-inclusive award chart that applies to all-inclusive properties as well as Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara. This chart uses letters to denote the categories, as opposed to the numbers used on Hyatt’s traditional award chart.
Below is the award chart for standard rooms. Redemptions start at 12,000 points (equivalent to a normal category 4) and go all the way up to 58,000 points, subject to peak, off-peak and standard pricing.
Effectively, the chart goes from a traditional Category 4 to a new “Category 9” and leaves the US-based Miraval chain in it’s own “Category Bazillion.” There are also other all-inclusive properties, like Greg’s favorite Alila Ventana Big Sur, that remain in the traditional chart.
Remember that:
- Category 1-7 certificates are not usable for Category E and F.
- Although the all-inclusive chart effectively starts at a traditional Cat 4 (at 15K points standard), the terms say you can’t use a Cat 1-4 cert at an all-inclusive.
- If you do use a Category 1-7 certificate, you won’t be able to pay for more guests beyond two, something you can do with a normal points redemption. So, if you have kids, the all-inclusive chart is effectively out-of-bounds for any certificate redemptions.

Quick Thoughts
As of now, 76 total all-inclusive properties are bookable throughout Mexico and the Caribbean in World of Hyatt’s “Inclusive Collection”. Of those, the breakdown by category is:
- Category A – 4
- Category B – 18
- Category C – 23
- Category D – 18
- Category E – 7
- Category F – 6
When I first wrote this post, in mid-2022, there was only one property higher than a category C, or 29,000 points/night in peak season. In addition, there were ten all-inclusive properties bookable for as low as 12-18,000 points. That’s changed though. The category change that occurred in 2023 and 2024 have hit North American all-inclusives particularly hard.
Now, there’s a whopping 31 properties that are above a category C and only 4 left at category A. While that change isn’t unwarranted, given the cash prices that many of these hotels are commanding, it’s still a significant blow to their points value on awards. I’m sure that this trend will continue in future category changes.
Dreams and Secrets used to be Choice Privileges partners back in the day. The reviews at the time were mixed and, looking over recent reviews, they continue to be. It’s not terribly surprising to see them at Category A-C. Zoëtry, on the other hand, is well-reviewed and looks like a lovely set of properties. Here’s how reader Deltahater described the differences:
Sunscape is the low-budget family property
Now and Dreams are family properties with Dreams being more sophisticated
Breathless and Secrets are adults-only
Zoetry is more for the elderly among usI have stayed at Dreams for the last 12 years. They are NOT like Ziva/Zilara. One step below. (Zoetry is probably a notch above Ziva/Zilara)
I have to say, and it may very well show my “elderliness,” the most exciting properties for me are the Zoëtrys…and I enjoyed the only time that I’ve stayed at one (the now closed and soon-to-be Marriott Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita). While the vast majority of these properties are in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, the various options in Panama, Costa Rica, Curaçao and St. Martin create some intriguing options, like pairing Secrets St. Martin with a trip to Zemi Beach House in Anguilla.
All ten all-inclusive brands count separately towards the Brand Explorer program, which is great. As of now, ~35% of Hyatt’s total brands are all-inclusive.
